Selecting a Double Stroller With Infant Car Seat A double stroller with an infant car seat is essential for twins or two kids who are close in age. If you are planning to purchase one, it's crucial to take into consideration your budget and how long you're planning to use the stroller. Kate liked the fact that the stroller was lightweight and easy to maneuver. She also liked how easily it folded, but she found the buckles that are magnetic difficult to secure. Size When selecting a double stroller with infant car seats size is an important consideration. The stroller should be compact and slim so that parents can effortlessly maneuver it on busy sidewalks or through narrow subway gates. The stroller should also be small and easy to fold, to fit in the trunk of a smaller vehicles. Consider a double stroller that includes two seats and can accommodate infant car seat if you are planning to have twins or children that are close in age. These models will be more expensive than other double strollers but they have a longer stroller life and can be used through toddlerhood or even past. Our top pick, the UPPAbaby Double, comes with a variety of seating configurations. It can be used with two infant seats or toddler seats that convert into bassinets. We also like strollers that work with a variety of infant car seat brands. This gives families a larger selection to choose from. For instance, the UPPAbaby Vista is compatible with the UPPAbaby Mesa and several other infant car seats with adapters. It also can be used with the Baby Jogger Glider Board for an additional, standing passenger. Parents may opt to purchase a single-to-double stroller which can be adjusted to accommodate an additional child, but we suggest buying what you need at the right time. A second child could arrive later than you expected, or your first kid might not be a fan of walking. Additionally, the type of seating in a double stroller that includes an baby car seats can make or break siblings' relationships, especially for kids that are very close in age. Weight Double strollers are generally heavier than single models. They have two seats and more cargo, which means the final pushing weight is greater. It's important to factor in the weight when choosing your ideal model, particularly if you'll be using it for long jogs or walks. The best models are well-engineered to withstand the extra weight with the least amount of flexing or swaying. It's also worth weighing the price of a double stroller in relation to its durability. The higher-end strollers are built better and come with more seating options, so they will last longer than their lower-cost counterparts. The joovy qool double bundle is a good example. It accepts car seat adapters for two infant car seats and can accommodate a second passenger via an attachable bassinet. This is a great option for twins or children of different ages, or siblings that have gaps between them. For those on a tight budget, they might find the Baby Trend Double Snap-N'Go an appealing option since it can accommodate two car seats for infants and can be converted into a tandem (single-file) stroller. It's lightweight and compact which makes it easy to move around despite the additional weight. Another option that is budget-friendly is the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double. It's comparable to the more expensive award winners and offers a variety of seating options for children of different ages and stages. Its side-byside seat design makes it suitable for twins or kids of varying ages, and it can be customized by adding add-ons like dual canopies twin bassinets, twin bassinets or altered seats that function as toddler seats. This stroller can be used for multiple purposes. It also has a relatively quick fold and a tiny footprint, making it easier to be tucked away in the trunk. The stroller is not designed to be used until children can sit up on their own without assistance, so babies younger than that need to be carried or put in a car seat. Convenience It is simpler and less stressful to take your family on a trip when you can transfer your infant's car seat easily from the vehicle to the stroller. You can click the seat in place and move the stroller without having to fold it with a baby and a toddler. This is a great convenience for long trips, when you don't want to have to unbuckle and then buckle your child every couple of minutes. Parents with twins often choose a travel system that will accommodate two infant car seats at once. The Graco Fast Action Flip offers this capability, and has a bench seat that can be used by older siblings. However, it doesn't work with all kinds of infant car seats and it's too heavy for some families. Other parents prefer double strollers with an integrated car seat adapter that works with all the major infant car seats. Evenflo Pivot Xpand Combo offers a fantastic value for the features it has. While it's not the ideal double stroller for twins in the infant stage (it is only compatible with one) It can work well for many families and is a good option for those looking to make a purchase that is a one-and-done deal. Some double strollers feature a more complex process for attaching and detaching the car seat. For example, the UPPAbaby vist double requires you to press down, and then hear a loud click, in order to know that it's securely secured. It's more difficult to use in parking spaces particularly in the case of hungry or exhausted children. It can be a bit more difficult to use with your family, we don't think it's the best option for parents of twins because you'll need to buy an additional toddler seat once your kids are old enough for it. Durability A double stroller with infant car seats must be sturdy and built to last. It should also be suited to your budget and lifestyle, whether you plan to use the stroller for a few or many years. Consider the quality of the stroller's fabric and the components, including the tires, when making your purchase. A stroller with a big and deep basket can hold plenty of diapers, food items, and other items. A large console for the parents and cup holders are beneficial and so is an umbrella sunshade that offers plenty of coverage. Make sure the stroller can handle off-road terrain as well as narrow city sidewalks. Parents of twins may prefer a side-by-side stroller to allow the same access and view to both children. twin buggy with children of different ages might opt for a tandem stroller that allows the seat of the rear child to be adjusted by raising or lowering it. Tandem strollers are generally heavier than single strollers, however, and they can cause sibling squabbles if the seats are at different heights. A stroller with an adjustable handlebar can help you adjust it to the appropriate height for you and the one-hand fold mechanism is an excellent feature. Another feature to look out for is a compact footprint that fits easily in your trunk, and requires little storage space. A modular stroller, like the CYBEX Gazelle provides unbeatable flexibility. It is possible to mix and combine the seating units and cots to accommodate twins, multiples or one child of different age. The durable design and flexibility in seating arrangements make it a worthwhile investment if you plan to keep it for several years. Safety A great stroller should be safe for children who are in the seat as well as the parent who pushes them. Certified child passenger safety technician Alli Cavasino suggests looking for strollers with ergonomic handlebars, brakes that are easy to use and a seat harness that can be adjusted. She also recommends avoiding accessories that increase the weight of a stroller, such as ride-on boards or extra child seats. A double stroller must be strong enough to handle a variety surfaces including suburban sidewalks and park trails to paved roads. It should be sturdy enough to move over curbs and bumps with ease, but also flexible to maneuver over a steep incline or climbing and descending stairways. In addition it should be easy to fold and fit into a car trunk without any compromise in size or mobility. Parents of twins or children close in age may be looking at a stroller that can fit two infant car seats. This will allow them to have the freedom to move sleeping children from the car to a stroller without waking them up. Many of our top-scoring strollers can be used with two infant car seats, including the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double or the UPPAbaby vista V2 Double. Another alternative is the joovy Qool double bundle, which works with two infant car seats (car seat adapters sold separately) and comes with an extra rumble seat that transforms into a second seat when your children outgrow their car seat. It features stadium seating with plenty of leg room and can be configured so that your children can face each other or the entire world. It's not able for two bassinets or an infant car seat or riding board at the same time but it's an excellent choice for families with multiple young children.
